Figure 3 shows system design for 3.0V and 1.8V SIM card interface. The SIM level shift is built
in the SC6600D chip.
Note: 1)SIM_VCC need add three capacitor: 4.7uF,0.1uF, 27pF.
2)SIM_RST,SIM_DATA,SIM_CLK lines also need add 27pF capacitor for each line.
3) SIM_DATA need to Pull-up with 2K resistor to SIM_VCC.
NOTES: Does not support 5V SIM card.

2.10 Reset
This signal is used to force a reset procedure by providing a low level voltage during at least
100s. This signal has to be considered as an emergency reset only. A reset procedure is
already driven by an internal hardware during the power-on sequence. This pin function is
only for NOR flash RESET.
This signal is only an internal reset. It can not be used to provide a reset to an external device.
Reset process is activated either by the external reset signal or by an internal signal (coming
from a reset generator). This automatic reset is activated at power-up.
The pin is held low at power-up. An internal capacitor can provide a 100s delay. If an external
capacitor is connected at the RESET pin, the delay would be
Tdelay = 1 ms * Cextcap / 100 pF

2.12 NORMAL/BOOT
This input is used to setting the module booting mode.
Here is the function description:
Low during reset: Download mode.
High during reset: Normal-working mode.
In the normal working mode, the handset action is supported by the normal phone call
software.
Since the CPU takes its level during reset, the pin can be used for other function after reset.

The nominal impedance is 50 ohm.
2.14.1 RF Connection
One gold plated land pattern sitting at the corner of the module supports the RF connection.
Application could access it through spring contacts or a soldered RF cable. Since no standard
spring contact is available for the module, this solution requires customization design for the
contact.

4 DESIGN GUIDELINES
4.1 HARDWARE AND RF
4.1.1 EMC
The EMC tests should be conducted at the early stage of any application to detect possible problems.
More attention should be paid to the following issues during designs:
Possible spurious or/and other unwanted emission radiated by the module to other RF
receivers in the receiving band.
ESD protection on SIM (if accessible from outside), serial link,
EMC protection on audio inputs/outputs
Bias of the microphone inputs.
Ground plane location for microphones
Length of the SIM interface lines (preferably <10cm)
Metallic case or plastic casing with conductive paint is recommended.
4.1.3 Antenna
Antenna structure and integration in the application is a major issue.
Attention should be paid to:
Selection of the antenna cable (performance, length, type, thermal resistance, etc.)
Selection of antenna connector (type, losses, mismatch, etc.)
Antenna isolation from digital circuits (including the interface signals)
A poor antenna could dramatically affect the GSM performance such as sensitivity and transmit power.
Warning:
LinkSprite strongly recommends working with an antenna manufacturer either to develop an
antenna for the application or to adapt an existing solution to the application. The antenna
adaptation (mechanical and electrical adaptation) is one of the key issues in the design of a GSM terminal.
